WELCOME to my blog!
This has become my place of cyber-rest. I can share with you my thoughts about certain scriptures or things that the Lord has taught me or is teaching me now.
About 12 years ago I knew that the Lord wanted me to minister to moms, but I was drowning in my own life as a mother. I had 5 kids under five and felt like I was barely surviving. I tried to read the Bible and pray, but was always interrupted. I knew I was spiritually dehydrated, but couldn’t seem to re-hydrate myself.
Now, fast forward 12 years and I have 10 kids now. I don’t have anymore time than I did 12 years ago, but I have learned way to still make that time with my Lord. He has used 1 Peter 2:5 to remind me that he wants to use me to build up my kids into the godly men and women he plans for them to become. He can’t use me as well if I do not know Him as deeply I as I could.
Many of my posts are my thoughts on how you can still have time with the Lord even with so many little ones at your feet. Some of them are about my relationship with my husband and what the Lord has taught me about becoming a biblical woman to Scott. I am still learning so much about that. I have a fantastic husband. We just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary and I am so blessed to have him. He puts up with so much! 
Living Stones is my opportunity to encourage you in your Biblical role as a wife and mother. It is so hard to live our lives according to God’s Word when our society is going the opposite direction. But it is possible. My prayer is that you will feel encouraged and rejuvenated by the words the Lord has given me. I write for myself, I just let you read it. I have not learned it all or know it all. I am still learning just like you. I make big mistakes everyday with my kids and my husband. But as long as I seek my Lord Jesus and ask for his forgiveness he blesses me with grace and mercy to start all over again tomorrow!
Rebuilt to His Glory!
